LOUIS AUGUSTE PICHON, OF PARIS, FRANCE.

. EGG-CASE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS AUcUs'rE PIoHoN, a citizen of the French Republic, and resident of Paris, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Egg-Cases, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in egg cases.

The object of the invention is to provide a convenient, economical, and effective carton to receive eggs, to protect the latter when transporting the same.

The inventionalso comprehends improvements in the details of construction and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side eleva tion of my improved carton. Fig. 2 is a similar view, of a slightly different form of the invention.

tion taken through Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a side elevation illustrating a carton designed to a series of longitudinal corrugations 1 rolled to form a pocket to receive an egg, one end 2, of the sheet lapping over 'the opposite end to form a seal, as shown in Fig. 3. I

In the form of the invention as shown in Fig. 1, the ends 3 and 4, are embraced by the ends of the sheet 1, while 'in Fig. 2, the sheet 1, is extended beyond the pocket, and is drawn in to form end closed extensions 5 and G, andemloraced by bands or resilient ties 8 and 9.

In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 4, the sheet is drawn in at intervals to form reduced portions, in exactly the same manner as shown in Fig. 2, except that a plurality of pockets are provided.

A resilient band or tie 7 may embrace the central portion of the pocket to retain the pocket in locked condition to effectually pro tect the egg.

The sheet '1, possesses sufiicient resiliency to retain it in shape, the tension being such as-to tend to keep the ends closed.

The pocket may be provided with a lining 10, to further protect the egg.

and slit longitudinally on one side, and a resilient'band encircling the carton.

2. An egg carton comprising a plurality of pockets longitudinally corrugated on the outer surface, the said carton having reduced portions between'the pockets said reduced portions being also longitudinally corrugated, and bands passing around said'reduced portions.

3. An egg carton comprising a case formed on its outer surface with a plurality of 1011- gitudinal corrugations, one end of the case overlapping the opposite end the corrugations of the overlapping ends meshingya lining on the inside of thecase, and a resilient band encircling the case.

' 4. An egg carton comprising a case formed of corrugated material drawn in at its ends to form reduced necks, one end of the case overlapping the opposite end the overlapping corrugated ends meshing and forming a seal. bands embracing the reduced necks, and a lining on the inside of the case.

5. An egg carton comprising a resilient casing formed of a single sheet of material and corrugated, the tension of said material being to normally close the case, and means locking the case in closed position.

In testimony whereof I-have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
